The competition is held to expand the opportunities for personal and professional growth of students, to form openness to innovation: understanding and acceptance, development and implementation of innovative projects of various significance and complexity in their future professional activities. 17 conceptual ideas of hotels reached the final stage. The jury, consisting of top managers of the hospitality and tourism industry of Russia, recognized the project of the students of StGAU as one of the best.

Students Anastasia Lamzina, Nadezhda Kozhukhovskaya and Alina Rozhkova have developed a unique project «Butterfly Garden». The recreation center will be located on the shore of Karras Lake, overlooking Beshtau Mountain. 15 cabins and 10 hectares of a garden with white and black mulberry trees will be available for tourists. Guests will not only be able to relax in a beautiful location and taste mulberry berries, but also visit the country's only sericulture research station to get acquainted with the process of creating Russian silk.

— I am sure that such projects can become a real driver of the hospitality industry in Stavropol, increasing the tourist flow and contributing to the development of the agricultural products market, — said Vladimir Sitnikov, Rector of StGAU.
